    A minority. And it’s only going to get worse as time goes on. The digital only carts are cheaper for publishers, so you know that’s what the majority will pick just because. The ones with the game on board also only come in a 64GB flavor (currently) so anything larger than that won’t fit and would require a digital cartridge.

    Nintendo clearly wants to transition to digital only for some reason, even though they’re releasing some first party games on the carts still.

      I keep seeing people say that, but I don’t see any evidence of it. Nintendo (or at least the video game publishing division) seems to be the biggest proponent of “game on cart” releases. Even Limited Run Games is announcing that they will make Game Key Cards for many of their releases.
